Wise words

A belated Blog of the Week goes to a site that anyone interested in Japanese politics should paste into their favourites, right now. The blog is Shisaku, which had Our Man chortling over two particularly astute lines this week: 

Please call the election on Monday. I am sorry. Anything is better than this.

and:

The Yomiuri Shimbun, the newspaper whose first impulse is to burst into embarrassing, slobbering applause for whatever the Liberal Democratic Party's current leadership is trying to foist upon the public.

I agree. Had I known I would have the readership I have, I would have put more effort into the name. And now that I have a brand of sorts, it's too late to change.

It works OK, does what it says on the tin. Think Observing Japan is going more for the NYT set than the mid-to-down market Daily Mail/Sun approach Our Man is trying to cultivate.
